Things I have been up to the past one month:
1. Visiting Bryan in Stamford. The campus is soooo beautiful.
2. Disneyland + Disney California Adventure Park. Still the happiest place on earth.
3. Hollywood- LA.
4. San Diego's Mission Beach. Very lovely. Met a kid who taught me how to catch sand crabs for cheap thrills.
5. Palace of Fine Arts. This is seriously one of the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Did I mention I have a weakness for gorgeous old buildings?
6. Some touristy place. Apparently this is the backdrop for a lot of SF's postcards.
7. Golden gate bridge.
8. Touristy things aside, I'm now residing in Baker College and having an amazing time in Rice. The campus + my college is beautiful! We have a very Harry Potter-ish commons with a lot of wooden furniture and high ceiling and good food. I'm staying in Baker's tower and the room comes with a freaking fireplace. This semester I'm taking International Conflict, Americal Foreign Policy, Sociology of Houston city and an astronomy class. On top of that I'll be auditing for a gender studies class. It's all gonna be good. They say Houston is not the place people want to visit, but it is probably one of the best place to live in. I tend to agree.
9. The roommates. From left: Anjali, me, Gaby, Pooja.
The reason why we all have red stripes on our cheeks was because it was cheer battle that day and Baker's color is red (obviously). They are all three years younger than me but nonetheless extremely intelligent (2 pre-med and 1 pre-law kids!) and we get along really well. Girls' night out last weekend, and for this coming labor day weekend I'm gonna stay over at Gaby's place. Couldn't ask for better roommates.
10. I told quite a few people how this exchange seems to happen at the most appropriate timing, and how desperate I was to just get out from the drama-mama life back home. Well, things are not going according to plan. So, there is this boy. Sometimes I am amazed and amused by the extra mile you go just to make me happy. This is crazy, and I am extremely reluctant to get my heart broken again. So before this all escalates into deeper feelings and all that gooey stuff, we need to talk. And you need to stop being so nice to me.
Most importantly, being here made me realize that the important people will never leave you despite being miles apart. B is missing in the picture ):

I miss you guys so much! Take care everybody, I'll be back home before you know it.
